CA Agile Central (Rally) Integration with HP ALM/QC

In an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) ecosystem, the choice of systems and the collaborationbetween the cross-functional teams play a great role. While the choice of systems impacts the productivityof a team, the cross-functional collaboration helps the teams get complete context of the businessrequirements. Best-of-breed systems such as RALLY and HP ALM/QC bring rich functionalities to theecosystem. Integration of RALLY with HP ALM/QC ensures that the development and QA teams are on thesame page when it comes to delivery timelines and have complete visibility into each other’s tasks.Download PDF

CA Agile Central HP ALM/QC Integration Overview

The integration of RALLY and HP ALM/QC helps in bringing the product development and Quality Assurance (QA) team on the same page. As both the teams have visibility into each other’s task and complete context of customer expectations, the quality of product is better, and the delivery cycle is shorter.

Best-of-breed systems such as RALLY and HP ALM/QC bring rich functionalities to the ecosystem. Integration of RALLY with HP ALM/QC ensures that the development and QA teams are on the same page when it comes to delivery timelines and have complete visibility into each other’s tasks.

OpsHub Integration Manager integrates RALLY and HP ALM/QC in abidirectional manner. It ensures that all historical and current data isavailable to each user, in that user’s preferred system, with full context, inreal-time. All ‘requirements’ from RALLY automatically synchronize to HPALM/QC where they are broken down to ‘stories’. The completion of thestory and the status of test results against it automatically synchronizes toRALLY.

Use Case: CA Agile Central (Rally) Integration with HP ALM/QC

Problem statement: The development team creates sprints, and requirements in RALLY – which is the development system and replicate the same in HPQC – which is used by the QA team. The defects are created in HPQC and then replicated in RALLY. Manual replication of data takes a lot of time and effort.

Solution: When RALLY and HPQC are integrated, there will not be any duplication of efforts and the data between both the systems will synchronize in real time.

The development team, then, creates ‘sprint’ in RALLY with basic attributes, which synchronizes to HPQC as a ‘cycle’.

The development team then creates ‘User Story’ in the already created sprint in RALLY. The ‘requirements’ sync to HPQC with traceability of cycle and release.

The developer then works on the ‘User Story’ and updates the status of the ‘User Story’ to ‘Completed’ in RALLY, which again synchronizes to status of the ‘requirement’ in HPQC.

The QA team, then runs a quality test and finds a ‘defect’. They log the defect in HPQC, which synchronizes to the ‘User Story’ in RALLY.
